Promenade Plantée

The Promenade Plantée, also known as Coulée Verte, is a scenic elevated park in Paris built on an old railway viaduct. Spanning about 4.7 kilometers, it features lush gardens, walking paths, and panoramic views of the city. Opened in 1993, it was one of the first elevated urban parks and has influenced similar projects worldwide. The design combines nature with urban surroundings, providing a peaceful retreat above busy streets, and serves as both a recreational space and a showcase of innovative city planning.
